That night, Jennie noticed that Selene returned absentmindedly. This triggered Jennie's mother's instinct.

She directly called Ezekiel since he voluntarily gave his phone number to her. The moment Ezekiel picked up the phone, a piercing scream was heard on the other side of the line.
126Please respect copyright.PENANA1smek6H0y3
"What the f*ck?! What did you do to my best friend, you jerk!" Jennie screamed, making sure that she was almost kissing her phone to better let him hear her scream from the other line.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAwyuhej7I6V
Ezekiel was already in his dorm, but since he was also sharing the room with two other people, the screaming on the other line was heard by his two roommates. Ezekiel stood up from sitting in front of his computer and walked to the balcony.
126Please respect copyright.PENANALSGa8c7qIT
"Hey, what happened? Is there something wrong with her?"
126Please respect copyright.PENANABCfOL0b2lP
"You asked? What did you do to her is what I'm curious about. She returned to our dorm looking absentminded Did you?.."
126Please respect copyright.PENANADDhuUH2lvu
Ezekiel was aware of what the girl meant. "Relax, I'm not that kind of person. And besides, she can't even remember me. Do you think I will have the time to take advantage of her, and then what, ruin my plan?"
126Please respect copyright.PENANAfMsBX4lxqz
Jennie digested what he said. Well, he's quite right. And if his goal is to let Selene remember him before pursuing her, then what's the point of taking advantage of the girl? It will only leave a bad impression on him. Well, she’s now fully convinced that nothing unexpected happened. "Then why does she look dumber than ever? What did you tell her?"
126Please respect copyright.PENANACxp1hadS9X
Ezekiel raised his eyebrow. Dumber? Selene's friend was quite the savage type, even with her best friend.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAY2PwBhLXIr
"I told her that I rejected her when I was in sixth grade."
126Please respect copyright.PENANALVvpJLdgFC
"You what?" Jennie can't believe that this guy will listen to her. "You are a good student. You followed what I told you. Don't you think you are very straightforward?"
126Please respect copyright.PENANAuTdP2LgnMD
"I can't do anything about it. I've wasted enough years. I need to correct my mistakes."
126Please respect copyright.PENANAc5MmOP6DVm
They end the call after Ezekiel asks for Selene's phone number.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAGgsCfYzIsJ
Jennie takes a wild guess based on what he told her. What could be a mistake he was talking about? She remembered before that she was sure that Ezekiel liked Selene just as much as Selene does. It clearly shows how protective he was towards Selene. She remembered when they were in fifth grade, the envious brat of a girl had a crush on Ezekiel and pushed Selene into the deep pool. Selene was not a good swimmer. Ezekiel came to the rescue. After that, Jennie was sure that Ezekiel liked her best friend. So when Selene came to her house crying she was shocked. What could have gone wrong?

On the other hand, that night Selene couldn't sleep. The thing that she learned that afternoon shook her. When she regained consciousness in the hospital a year ago, she didn't have any recollection of her past. Gradually, her memory from when she was young was coming bit by bit. But the thing Ezekiel told her was never in those memories that she recovered. Why was it hard for her to remember? She was in deep contemplation when her phone lit up. She received a text message. it came from an unknown number. She knitted her eyebrow, but still opened the message.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAhDvRqL1cSB
Are you okay?
126Please respect copyright.PENANAStDSapewSr
Selene looked at the message intently without moving. Then another text message came.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAFqk4WySg7O
This is Ezekiel.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAUFFJuL6LUR
Her eyes flickered. Then she hit reply and started to compose her message.
126Please respect copyright.PENANARC3zGpDPIr
Selene: Yes. I'm okay. Why?
126Please respect copyright.PENANAOs9O10xh0j
Ezekiel: Jennie called to scold me. She's pretty worked up.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAznGAN5KPec
Selene can't help but let a small smile slip through her red lips. Yes, it does sound like Jennie will do.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAYukf8Wew0M
Selene: I'm okay. I'm just trying to absorb what you said this afternoon. I wanted to remember everything when I was in middle school. Do you know how difficult it is to look clueless while everyone around you knows something you don't know?
126Please respect copyright.PENANAcDNKCllbTk
Ezekiel: Don't rush it. Take your time.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAvX1aBMsChv
Selene: Is recalling your face a good start?
126Please respect copyright.PENANAi7lO4TjgtP
Ezekiel: Yes. And much better. Even if you are not able to remember everything, it doesn't matter to me. We have a long time ahead of us to create more memories together.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAfU29fd5aHX
Selene was stumped for what to say next. What do you mean by we have a long time ahead of us? It didn't take a minute before another message popped up on her screen.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAPjLH0QfkFw
Ezekiel: I will chase you until you say yes.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAVwn38U3yRm

So, it's official; Ezekiel is pursuing her. And so, all the people in the university were able to know it. It was a hot topic in the university forum. The campus beauty and a campus heartthrob. Of course, it's not like everyone accepts the fact that two good-looking people in the university decided to date each other. The campus beauty has a huge amount of fanboys. While the campus heartthrob, though, has only stayed on the campus for only a month, already created a huge amount of admirers.

And so, no one can avert an incoming disaster…

"Oh, look at Trixie. Her face looked like she'd eaten something bitter," Rose said. They are in the cafeteria and having a nice lunch together.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAXUxNNrOwbt
"Of course, her face will look like that. After all, she's been bitter ever since our beautiful friend here was discovered dating the man of her fantasies," Jennie said while sneering. She doesn't like the cheerleader after all this b*tch snatched her blooming love earlier this year.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAZi15kKT8FA
"Oh, look, miss bitter is going this way," Sara whispered while sipping her milk tea.
126Please respect copyright.PENANA8R1N6eTtI1
The girl named Trixie stood in front of their table, looking as arrogant as always as she was alone, without her posse.
126Please respect copyright.PENANANItBvXJxOb
Selene looked up and stared wordlessly at her.
126Please respect copyright.PENANApe7epx9csj
"Honestly, I can't see anything special in you. What does he see in you?" She asked, clearly trying to provoke Selene.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAeXCoJU5OcH
This b*tch...
126Please respect copyright.PENANAdNHSSMfG1K
"Well, aside from the fact that she has a beautiful face and body, she is also gentle and reserved. Of course, he would think she's special, unlike someone who can't wait to take off all her small articles of clothing so that he can see everything that is there to see in her." Jennie answered.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAp8Fplrv9lR
Trixie looked at Jennie. "Nerd, I'm not talking to you." The girl arrogantly dismissed her.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAM8Tg1LC8Yl
WTF!!! Who's the nerd here?! Jennie wanted to jump this arrogant b*tch in front of her, but she restrained herself. But before Jennie could say something, Selene opened her mouth and let out a phrase.
126Please respect copyright.PENANA4FfWWN22mb
"Insecurity is such an ugly word."
126Please respect copyright.PENANAQzMVYLni4P
Jennie burst out laughing. She can't believe that her best friend would say such a thing looking all innocent and overly cute.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAJW0Af3rsEk
"W-what did you just say?" Trixie became flustered out of embarrassment and raised her fist to strike the dumb-looking Selene.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAFofNYM4WcJ
"Woah. Hold it, I know you're insecure, but not her face!" Jennie said.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAi9rR3DoX9q
Sara and Rose tried to hold their laugh. Almost all the students in the cafeteria were watching the scene. When a man started walking right in the center of the scene.
